UNITED ST 8 FFTC PUMP.

Specificaton forming part of Letters Patent No. 13,881, dated December4, 1855; Reissued. August To (LZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOSEA LINDsEY, of Asheville, in the county ofBucombe and State of North Carolina have invented a' new and ImprovedPump; and I do ,hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description of the same, reference being had to the annexeddrawings, making a part of this specification, in which- F igure l, is avertical section of my improvement, the plane of section being throughthe center. Fig. 2, is a horizontal section of ditto, (m), (x), Fig. 1,showing the plane of section.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twofigures.

This invention relates to a new and improved pump, and consists inattaching a horizontal cylinder to the lower end of a vertical pipe, thepipe being attached to the center of the cylinder and communicating withthe cylinder by means of valves. The cylinder is provided with twopistons, one in each end, which pistons are operated, as the pipe andcylinder are rotated, by means of a curved fianch so that the water isdrawn into the cylinder and forced up the pipe into a receptacleprepared to receive it.

' To enable others skilled in the art to fully understand and constructmy invention I, will proceed to describe it.

A, Fig. 1, represents a well or reservoir containing water.

B, represents a framing or box which is placed at the bottom of thereservoir or well, said box or framing being nearly equal in diameter tothe well or reservoir.

C, represents a vertical pipe, the lower end of which is stepped atthecenter of the bottom of the box or framing B. The upper end of the pipeC, has a crank D, attached to it or gearing may be substituted for thecrank when necessary. The upper part of the pipe C, Works in a properbearing (a), in the cross piece at the upper part of the framing B.

E, is a horizontal cylinder which is attached to the lower end of thepipe C, the pipe C, communicating with the center of the cylinder E, and(b), (b), are valves at the lower part of the pipe C, said valves beingat the junction of the pipe and cylinder and dividing the cylindertransversely into two parts.

F, F, are piston rods which are fitted in each end of the cylinder E,said rods' fitting snugly the bore of the cylinder. The outer ends ofthe piston rods have friction rollers (0), attached to them one to each.And a cross bar (d), passes through the outer end of each piston rod,the ends of said bars being connected by guide rods G, G, which workthrough eyes (e), attached to the sides of the cylinder E.

H, represents a circular rim which is fitted in the lower part of thebox or framing B, and I, is an eccentric segment or flanch attached tothe inner side of the rim H, as shown clearly in Fig. 2.

J, is a circular trough on the upper part of the box or framing B, thepipe C, passing through the' center of said box and having its endcurved downward and as shown in Fig. 1. i

The cylinder E, is perforated with holes (f), near its outer ends.

The operation will be readily understood. By turning the pipe C, andcylinder E, in any proper manner, the rollers (c), will strikealternately against the fianch I, and the piston rods F, F, will beforced alternately in the cylinder E, inward and outwarcl and the waterwill rush through the holes (f), behind the piston rods as they areforced outward, and the water Will be forced up the pipe C, as they areforced inward the valves (b), of course close as their re= spectivepiston rods are forced outward and open as they are forced inward. Thepiston rods being connected by the guide rods G, one piston will beforced outward as the other is shoved inward, and the water Will beforced out of the upper end of the pipe C, in a continuous stream.

The above invention is extremely simple, not liable to get out ofrepair, will require but little power to operate it, and is economicalto manufacture.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The horizontal cylinder E, and pipe C, connected as shown, the cylinderbeing provided with valves (b), (b), and piston rods F, F, the pistonrods being operated as the pipe C, and cylinder E, rotate by the curvedfianch I, as herein shown and described for the purpose specified.
